According to new research, female shift workers could be at a higher risk for developing heart disease that those who don't work shifts. (Petros Giannakouris/Associated Press) Women who work night shifts might be at a higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease, new Canadian research suggests Joan Tranmer, a nurse for 30 years who is now a full-time researcher and teacher, and a team of researchers from Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., found that approximately one in five middle-aged women who do shift work has at least three of ...
15% protein - healthiest diet

Including enough protein in our diets, rather than simply cutting calories, is the key to curbing appetites and preventing excessive consumption of fats and carbohydrates, a new study from the University of Sydney has found. A multi-disciplinary team of researchers has shown that people on a 10 percent protein diet will eat more snacks between meals and consume significantly more calories in total compared with people on a 15 percent protein diet. The results, published in the online journal PLoS ONE, represent the first scientifically supported evidence that dietary protein plays an important role in appetite and total food consumption in humans, and are an important step in addressing ...

"On July 29, 2008, my family and I were terrorized by an errant Prince George's County SWAT team. This unit forced entry into my home without a proper warrant, executed our beloved black Labradors, Payton and Chase, and bound and interrogated my mother-in-law and me for hours as they ransacked our belongings… As I was forced to kneel, bound at gun point on my living room floor, I recall thinking that there had been a terrible mistake. However, as I have learned more, I have to understand that what my family and I experience is part of a growing and troubling trend where law enforcement is relying on SWAT teams to perform duties once handled by ordinary police officers." ...

NaturalNews) Having a dentist drill out a tooth and fill it with composite, ceramic, or toxic amalgam is not the only way to deal with the onset of a cavity. Sarah Pope, a mother and Nutrition Education and Chapter Leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, tells the story on her blog of how her young son's cavity was completely healed through one simple dietary, as well as supplementation with a combination of two powerful healing oils. When Sarah's husband first noticed the deep crater on the side their son's lateral incisor tooth, the couple immediately decided to call the dentist and schedule an appointment to have it filled. Though familiar with nutritional protocols for ...
Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors

-- When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies." But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats. "The transponders were the cause of the tumors," said Keith ...
Lawsuits Aren’t Improving Nursing Home Care: Study

WEDNESDAY, March 30 (2010) (Health Day News) — High-quality nursing homes get sued almost as often as low-quality nursing homes, a new study shows. Researchers say the finding illustrates that litigation, or the threat of litigation, doesn’t lead to improvements in patient care. Nor does it appear that better nursing homes are rewarded for superior care in terms of fewer lawsuits. “Nursing homes that are at the very top of the heap in terms of quality don’t experience that much less litigation than nursing homes that are at the bottom of the heap,” said lead study author David Studdert, a law professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia. “It’s ...

Apples, the traditionally affordable and healthy fruit for everyone, can be bad for your teeth. British scientists believe that apples are four times more harmful to teeth than carbonated drinks. The surprising conclusion was made by specialists at King's College London Dental Institute. According to the researchers, one has to be careful when eating apples. "It is not only about what we eat, but how we eat it, " The Daily Mail quoted Professor David Bartlett, who led the study. Apples bring a lot of good to the human body indeed. However, if you like to eat them slowly, the fruit acid in the apples may harm your teeth. British dentists also recommend eating apples together ...
How Can I Avoid Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia?
Post Date: 2011-10-19 00:34:46 by Tatarewicz
10 Comments
Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT) is a condition that causes the heart to suddenly beat too quickly, resulting in “runs” of very fast heartbeats. The condition can be due to a couple of conditions: a pre-existing surgery for heart defects, tissue in the heart that causes it to short circuit, pregnancy and thyroid disease. Alternately it may have no known cause. When the cause is clear, it may be difficult to avoid paroxysmal atrial tachycardia without medication or surgical intervention, but when the cause can’t be identified, there are some ways to reduce or stop fast heartbeat episodes. Further, in most cases, some things can help you stop a run of quick heartbeats while ...

Underactive thyroid - live longer (slower)

We’ve all heard the children’s tale that illustrates the fact that the turtle who plods along at an even pace ends up winning the race, compared to the rabbit who gets sidetracked and stops at every 7-11 along the way, but apparently this is not a fictional story when you look at the human race. According to recent research out of Albert Einstein College of Medicine (now that’s gotta look good on your resume), those individuals who have a slightly underactive thyroid may actually live longer. In this study, they looked at various factors that may be contributing to why a group of centenarians were still alive and kicking (or at least shuffling). A common denominator in a ...
Honey Memory Boost: Too Sweet to Be True?

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Oct 14 - A daily spoonful of Malaysian honey may help improve memory in postmenopausal women, researchers say in a new report that aims to provide an "alternative therapy" for hormone-related intellectual decline. In the study, 102 healthy women were randomly assigned to eat 20 grams of honey a day, take hormone-replacement therapy containing estrogen and progesterone, or do nothing. After four months, those who took honey or hormone pills recalled about one extra word out of 15 presented on a short-term memory test. "The immediate memory improvement in the honey group is probably best explained by improvement in concentration and overall ...
Report Links Kidney Stones and Gallstones

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Oct 14 - Once patients have had kidney stones they seem to have a heightened risk of gallstones -- and vice versa, according to a new study. Even after adjustment for weight, diabetes status and diet, the link remained. The report "raises our antenna to this shared relationship between these two disorders," said Dr. Brian Matlaga, a urologist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. "From an anecdotal standpoint, certainly it's not an uncommon scenario that a patient would have had both," Dr. Matlaga, who wasn't involved in the new research, told Reuters Health. But he described himself as "a little bit ...
Spuds in US schools become a political hot potato

The humble potato is at the center of a political food fight in Washington over what American children should be eating in their school cafeterias. Opening a new front in its war on obesity, the US Department of Agriculture wants to limit servings of "starchy vegetables" to no more than twice a week under a federally subsidized school lunch program. Never before has Washington imposed a limit on how many spuds a school can serve its students. And not surprisingly, the proposal has potato farmers -- and those who represent them on Capitol Hill -- boiling mad. "While I am a strong supporter of increasing the number of fruits and vegetables available in our schools, I ...
Sodium benzoate is a preservative that promotes cancer and kills healthy cells

Organic consumers and nutritionists may already know, but the rest of the general population does not know about sodium benzoate. It has the ability to deprive the cells of oxygen, break down the immune system and cause cancer. This killer is flying under consumer radarwith its user friendly tag line, “as a preservative.” This silent cell choker has found its way into thousands of products, even foods that are labeled asall natural. But don’t be fooled. Whilebenzoic acidis found naturally in low levels in many fruits, thesodium benzoatelisted on a product’s label issynthesized in a lab.

Vitamin D Deficiency: The REAL Reason People Get the Flu in Winter
Post Date: 2011-10-15 02:59:17 by Tatarewicz

For decades we've heard the myth that flu strikes in winter because of the colder weather. But numerous studies have all debunked that theory. Studies have shown that flu hits the tropics in their "winter" when it's still quite warm (usually during the rainy season). No, there's another reason flu hits in winter. And it gives you an easy way to stop the flu before it hits. And it doesn't involve getting a flu shot. We already know that our bodies produce a lot less vitamin D during the winter. But is it possible the reduced vitamin D levels in winter contribute to the flu? The evidence is there. Years ago, an observant British general practitioner, R. Edgar ...
Bring CPR to everyone’s rescue

If a shopper collapses with a heart attack in a parking lot, there’s a one-in-four chance someone will do chest compressions. It’s no wonder that emergency-room physicians want people to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation – even those untrained to do it. “There should not be any hesitation of doing it wrong,” says Christian Vaillancourt, a senior scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. “You can only improve the situation.” Thousands of Canadians die because bystanders do not rush to their aid. Some wrongly believe they can be held liable if the person dies. Many in older generations mistakenly believe CPR must be done perfectly to be ...

"Too much TV may lead to shorter life." Headlines like that one flooded the media after the publication of an Australian study linking time spent watching television with higher chances of dying from cardiovascular disease. Television watching in itself probably wasn't to blame, unless a steady visual diet of reality shows, crime dramas, and sitcoms damages the heart by numbing the mind. Sitting is the more likely culprit. If you are like most Americans, you sit for most of the hours you are awake. A handful of studies on inactivity and health might get you to reconsider that position. >From the journals Researchers have long focused on the health benefits of physical ...
Worried about vitamin safety? Experts offer advice

The nutritional label of a box of multivitamins is photographed in Philadelphia on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011. Two studies released in Oct. 2011 raised gnawing worries about the safety of vitamin supplements and a host of questions. Vitamins have long had a "health halo" - many people think they won't hurt and at worst might be unnecessary. The industry calls them an insurance policy against bad eating. But our foods increasingly are pumped full of them - even junk foods and drinks often are fortified with nutrients to give them a healthier profile - so the risk is rising that we're getting too much. Add a supplement and you may exceed the upper limit. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke) ...
Crony Capitalism Infecting Medical Research?

Here's the story. The Archives of Internal Medicine, which is run by the American Medical Association, runs an article suggesting that supplement use might shorten your life. It creates a media feeding frenzy. This is only the latest in a string of such articles from the AMA. The problem is that this study, like it's predecessors, is junk science at its worst. The women in the study were asked every 6 years what they had taken. They were supposed to remember what they had taken for the 6-year period. The reports did not have to be specific: multivitamin could mean anything. Who knows what was taken or even if it was taken? Those who reported taking multi-vitamins were found over ...
Second language can help delay Alzheimer’s, study finds

If Alzheimer’s disease runs in your family, you may want to start learning a second language. Researchers at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto have completed a study which suggests that being able to speak more than one language can help delay the onset of symptoms of the mind-robbing illness. The team, led by neuroscientist Tom Schweizer, used CT scans to study the brains of bilingual and unilingual individuals suspected of having Alzheimer’s. The patients were matched up so they had similar levels of education and cognitive skills involving memory, attention, planning and organization. And even though they had equivalent cognitive abilities, the scans revealed the ...

How I Healed My Child’s Cavity by SARAH, THE HEALTHY HOME ECONOMIST on MAY 12, 2011 in HEALTHY LIVING Share 2637 If you ask most people whether or not a cavity can heal, the answer you would get 99% of the time is that it is impossible. Even conventional dentists would agree with this assessment. Ask a typical dentist at a routine cleaning whether you can heal a cavity on your own and he/she is likely to look at you like you’re crazy (I know this from experience). In stark contrast to this current conventional “wisdom”, Dr. Weston A. Price DDS wrote of numerous situations in his dental practice back in the 192082;s and 193082;s where cavities healed with no need for ...
